I’ve been saving Mark Of The Ninja for the winter months. Dark nights, curtains drawn, the room lit by a candle light that’s been strategically placed in a breeze to create rippled shadows. I might even move to Japan to enhance the experience. I’ve put it off this long, what’s a few more months for an unnecessary and stressful intercontinental move? And to everyone about to say “You should have played it already”, well waiting means I get to play the game with the newly announced DLC in one big pile of 2d stealth fun. This new DLC only adds a new prequel level and two new items to help you play more stealthily, but the biggest addition is my favourite game extras: a commentary track.Klei Entertainment have recorded insights and japes for every level, including the prequel level, so I’ll be sat there with a chatty development friend talking about all their design decisions. It will be like I have friends! The Special Edition DLC be out on Steam on August 16th for $5. Here’s a trailer.

And terrorizing them first before you take them down. Which I don’t mind, because the path of terror is my favorite. It’s hilarious to cause a chain reaction of making an enemy scared, kill him, then have another come by and freak out from the body, shoot his friend, and repeat for as long as possible.

This is something we (hopefully!) will fix in the patch (which will just happen automatically on Steam, of course) that comes when the DLC does. We actually don’t have of them craaaaazy 120 Hz monitors at work, but I think our programmer fellows were able to figure out what the badness was and make it better.
